This short video shows how to add Lucid activities to Canvas assignments. If you use Lucidspark or Lucidchart in your teaching, this is a quick way to link student work directly into Canvas. It helps keep everything in one place and easy to mark.
In the video, you’ll see how to set up a new assignment in Canvas, then select External Tool as the submission type. From there, you can choose Lucid for Education and link the activity you want students to complete. You can also set a due date and points as normal.
Being able to add Lucid activities to Canvas assignments saves time. Because students access and submit their Lucid work inside Canvas, you don’t need to chase links or files. It also means you can give feedback and marks without leaving the platform.
In addition, this approach works with both individual and group activities. Whether you’ve created a brainstorming board, a diagram, or a planning template, it can be assigned just like any other task in Canvas. As a result, students stay focused, and it’s easier for instructors to track progress.
This video is ideal for teachers who are new to using Lucid in Canvas or want a quick refresher. Once you’ve done it once, repeating the process is simple.
Tip: Test your setup using student view. It helps you check that the Lucid activity opens correctly and is easy to access.
